So you want someone to say "go for it Tod, those cheap kits are a great value and you will not be disappointed"? I know you are fussy enough that I am not falling for that.

I have a single place snowmobile trailer...5x8 bed, I built sides to use as a utility trailer and added tie downs, can pop front and back gates off, hang long lumber, siding, even picked up a crate of 14' metal roofing last summer. Bought it used for less than $500 and more than got my money...

If I recall Rutgers either knew Russell Lewis or he was a friend of a friend...been a long time, not sure anymore.

"Ribbed"...yes, ribbed! Nice pun. Thanks for explaining it Scott, hope you are doing well. Vince, I think you should be the honorary Grand Poobah. Brother Entwistle, welcome to the fold, you are one of us now.

I have this on on the shelf, not on your list but the author is. I stumbled onto it at Bargain Books for less than 10 buck, maybe less than 5, probably 15 years ago. Can't say it is the best book out there on the subject, but well worth what I paid.

maybe you already found it but there are a bunch of pick of my methods (and madness) here https://duckboats.net/community/threads/canvas-decoy-covering-very-picture-heavy.96928/ I had a lot more but got PO'd at Photobucket and deleted my account, but reloaded this thread to Duckboats server.

Vince, just because you don't use a needle and thread does not disqualify you from 'The Brotherhood of Decoy Seamstresses'

Very nice, classically styled canvas deeks! Vince has some great pointers, I will defer to him as he is a much more classic versed decoy seamstress than myself. If you want to forge ahead on the head(s) you already have started you could drill and dowel the bill for added strength, but as for...

Hey Dave, you are quite the bowler. Very cool Chuck

Bob, if you have not named her, she should be called "Tenacious" Everyone knows I love boats that are pointy at both ends, and this one is no exception! Nice job! Don't give up!

No problem Jeff, glad they are still being very helpful like they were for me. There is a vast amount of info on the WWW but sometimes you just need to talk it through human to human. Yakima stuff has always been pricey, but I have always found it to be high quality and adaptable. Best Chuck

Ed Oak Orchard also has a tonenau cover friendly back rack. scroll down to back rack style #2 https://www.oakorchardcanoe.com/racks.php#yakima

Jeff It appears Oak Orchard does sell a single pair of Q-towers. I suspect they spilt the pack of 4 as they are also trying to sell their back racks. Chuck

Jeff 25 years ago I had the same problem, and had not discovered this Internet thing but lucked out and found these guys in the back of a canoeing magazine. https://www.oakorchardcanoe.com/racks.php I already had a set of 4 Yakima towers, but I believe they sell them in pairs, but I bought...

Very nice, congrats Vince, well deserved.

Thanks guy, that helps. Like I said, he's not looking to get rich off it, just not give it away completely.

Hey all Looking for some advice for my dad who is looking to sell his old boat on the side of the road. While he is out in the country, there are also quite a few cottage lakes around his area so he's got that going for him. (I am NOT looking to sell it here...just seeking insight on fair...

Since I deducted you are #2, I will say my answer is #2

Great to see the Edgerton Show still going on! Was there 10 or so years ago, a few of us meet up after for lunch, a long but fun day (at least long when traveling from Michigan). I'd encourage anyone in southern Wisconsin or northern Illinois who has not been to check it out. Chuck
